Are The Building Trades Claiming the Pestronk Bros. To Be Heroin Smugglers?

Over on PhillySpeaks a user on the site walked past a building trades flyering operation at 20th and Chestnut earlier this afternoon:
Today on my way to lunch I encountered a union goon on the corner of 20th & Chestnut handing out flyers related to the “Post Brothers.” I threw the flyer away, but there were some pretty ridiculous claims about the Post Brothers storing and smuggling heroine and cocaine. Incredible (or is it, knowing them) they would resort to these tactics- perhaps a defamation lawsuit against the union is in order? The individual was even wearing union clothing to indicate that he was representing the union.
This wouldn’t be the first time local unions have distributed handbills over the GoldTex flap that contained some fairly wild charges in them.  They even ginned up flyers of Matt Pestronk’s wife doing… well, I’ll just show you (Ed: Warning, erect poorly photoshopped and photocopied penis below.)
Most of the ones the Pestronk brothers have collected so far and put on exhibition on PhillyBully aire of being prepared by an adult with a 5th grade education and appeal mainly to anti-gentrification sentiments; with claims that the Pestronk brothers are on a mission to drive low-income black families out of the region.
That is an interesting claim to make if it weren’t for the fact that those protesting are mostly white, male and live in the New Jersey suburbs.
